The BigM Returns

There fall meet starts Friday, Nov 18th with serveral Breeders Crown races and the regular survivor game plus a new BC survivor game which I posted about under the off site capping contests section. Will be good to have them back as The Meadowlands is the big leagues of standardbred racing. :)
